2
2 AGBell – EECT 111 2 CHAPTER 11 Basic AC Quantities
3
3 AGBell – EECT 111 AC and DC Differences Alternating Current Current: Magnitude and direction change periodically Voltage: Magnitude and direction change periodically Sine Wave: Most common representation
4
4 AGBell – EECT 111 AC and DC Differences (cont.) Direct Current Current: Single magnitude and direction Voltage: Single magnitude and direction
5
5 AGBell – EECT 111 AC Power and Transmission AC advantageous over DC in transmission of power over long distances AC has ability to be stepped up or down AC easily produced by generators
6
6 AGBell – EECT 111 AC and DC Characteristics
7
7 AGBell – EECT 111 Mathematical Concepts 360° angular motion 0° starting point Angles increase in positive CCW direction Maximum positive value at 90° 0 volts at 180° Maximum negative value at 270°
8
8 AGBell – EECT 111 Generating AC Voltage Voltage developed by wire moving in magnetic field
9
9 AGBell – EECT 111 Radians and Degrees Radians Degrees 0 0° /2 90° 180° 3 /2 270° 2 360°
10
10 AGBell – EECT 111 Use Excel create a plot of the Sine and Cosine functions Remember, Excel uses radians not degrees so all angles must be converted to radians Excel
11
11 AGBell – EECT 111 Flux Lines and Induced Voltage Zero volts at 0°,180°, and 360° Maximum at 90° and 270° Positive values between 0° and 180° Negative values between 180° and 360°
12
12 AGBell – EECT 111 Sine Wave Summary Amplitude characteristics follow sine function. Amplitude constantly varies in value. Direction periodically reverses.
13
13 AGBell – EECT 111 Sine Wave Terms Cycle: 360° Period (T): Time required to complete a cycle –Unit of Measure: Seconds (sec) Frequency (f): Number of cycles in a second –Unit of Measure: Hertz (Hz) Alternation: Half of a sine wave

14 AGBell – EECT 111 Equations
15
15 AGBell – EECT 111 Commercial Power Period = 16.67 milliseconds Frequency = 60 Hertz
16
16 AGBell – EECT 111 Phase Relationships
17
17 AGBell – EECT 111 Phase Relationships (cont.) In Phase: When two voltages or currents have the same frequency and pass through zero and reach their maximums at the same time Out of Phase: When two voltages or currents are the same frequency but pass through zero and reach their maximums at different times
